BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – After making some noise in year two of existence, but falling just short of a playoff berth, the pieces of the puzzle are in place for the Florida Tech Panthers to explode onto the national scene in 2015.

The Panthers worked out in helmets for two hours at the Varsity Training Center Saturday morning.

Saturday’s opening practice was the first of 14 practices scheduled for Spring Ball, leading up to Florida Tech’s annual spring game on Saturday, March 28 at 2 p.m.

“Practice went real good for me. It was about getting back to basics and fundamentals,” said returning starting quarterback Mark Cato.

“It was about getting my feet wet again and throw it around to these guys so it was a great day.”
